re: As a remimder Mitch McConnell was 78 when he was re-elected to the Senate

Agree with term limits. However, the House reps would barely understand what was going on in 4 years which would result in staff being in charge - kind of what we have with Joe Biden. Plus it would have ZERO chance of ever happening.

IMO, the best approach is to get something in place that would actually get support from most:


House 4 terms = 12 years max

Senate 4 terms = 24 years max

Combined - 24 years max

(think 18 max could get support and would be better)

- then barred for LIFE from being a FEDERAL lobbyist

Supreme Court - 24 years max (18 would be fine), or age 75 - whichever comes first

Age - 75 mandatory retirement for all above, and nobody can run for President after age 70.

I think there could be support for this, which is FAR better than what we have now.
